Traditionally, knee replacement required cutting through muscle. The new technique avoids cutting through muscle, and instead, goes underneath the muscle. This allows the patient to stand up soon after surgery, and have the muscle strength to walk, facilitating a faster return to normal activities.

This new technique also avoids using a tourniquet, which had traditionally been used to stem bleeding during surgery. Without the tourniquet, patients experience less pain and swelling post-op. Transfusions are rare when using this technique. Learn more, by contacting Dr. Tauro today at 732.341.6226.
